if your wallet's to thin to own this land,
like minded partners could lend a hand!

now is not a time to cry,
attend the auction and buy, buy, buy!

Thats what I was thinking- only I'm not as clever this morning. Auctoins are open to the public, why couldnt a dog person, or several, buy it and keep it for dog stuff.?
What a shame to lose such a nice place for dog work..

how about this idea:
form a group called the asslrg(american society for the salvation of lost retriever grounds). the asslarge could produce a commercial like the aspca's. the commercial could show labs, chessies, goldens, fcr's, aws etc., all looking sadly at the camera from behind the "jail bars" of standing corn. sad background music could play while a recognizable movie star's voice told what tragedy it was for these dogs not to be able to run their marks in these tall crops and how for a $49 a month contribution from you, ten dogs would have property to run on for the rest of their lives!

Yes same here! No money. IMO key ingredient. Too bad It is a lovely piece of property. I have trained and shown there. Great experience. Many owners of the property in the retriever world-not sure how that would settle out!! JMO

I know your joking but in all seriousness ,you need to look at it as a tax write off......hence sub chapter s.......Its a problem with clubs nationwide........
The right people could make it work ....Lets face it folks,the days of Larken,Stroud,Belmont,Murnaine are gone. That property coul be a comercial preserve from oct through march.....some land leased for crops .....and other for field trial venues.....Theres a good manager there as far as Jim.....it would work.
